Colin George Smith (2 August 1935 – 21 December 2014) was a British former track and field athlete who specialised in the javelin throw.

He returned to defend his title in 1962 and was much improved with a lifetime best throw of 77.94 m (255 ft 8+1⁄2 in), but he was beaten into the silver medal position by Australia's Alf Mitchell.

[1][2] Born in Harlesden, London, he took up throwing events while a young teenager at school.

Trained by Bill Plumridge he went on to compete in over forty internationals for England and Great Britain.

[3] Smith competed twice at the European Athletics Championships, taking part in 1958 and again 1962, but did not perform well and failed to make the final round in either attempt.
